“Many of our young people achieved exceptional results today and that is testament to their hard work and dedication. We are incredibly proud of our students and know that they will move forward in their learning journey to achieve great things.
“Our student’s hard work and determination exemplify our motto, 'For life, not school, we learn'. It has been a pleasure working with such a wonderful group of young people.”
“I am grateful to our superb school staff and our supportive parents for all that has been achieved in helping our year 11 through their studies.”
“Whilst most of our year 11 will stay with us for their A levels, others will embark on a different path. We wish all of our students the very best of luck and success in whatever they decide to do next.”
